4WAY Electric Ball Valve BSPT (SUS316)
Model: PAVE-08
PAVE-08 is a ball valve combining a SUS316 body with a 4WAY ball and an electric actuator. It supports four port configurations (L/T/X/I) and multiple rotation-angle options, with an ISO5211 direct mounting pad as a standard specification. It is used for multi-direction remote automatic switching lines in the chemical, plant, water/wastewater, and construction sectors.
Features
- Compact design for easy installation in confined spaces
- Leak tested per API598
- First in Korea to apply ISO5211 Direct Mounting Pad
Frequently Asked Questions
- What 4-way port configurations are offered?
- PAVE-08 supports four port configurations: L, T, X, and I. The L port performs 90-degree directional switching by selecting one of two paths; the T port is for manifolds requiring simultaneous branching and merging; the X port is a cross-flow type that switches two paths simultaneously; the I port is used for straight-through configurations. Select the appropriate configuration according to your process sequence and piping layout.
- What do the 90°/180°/360° rotation angle options mean?
- 4-way ball valves require different ball rotation angles depending on port configuration. General simple switching is sufficient with 90° rotation, but rotation control selecting multiple paths sequentially requires 180° or 360° rotation. PAVE-08 supports these three rotation angle options, so provide your process sequence and required number of control positions and we will guide you to the appropriate specification.
- What options can be added to electric actuators?
- Various options are available depending on application. First, small-diameter valves can be configured with approximately 1-second high-speed open/close specifications, suitable for lines requiring fast ON/OFF repetition. Second, for sections requiring continuous flow control, proportional control specifications that control opening with 4-20 mA input signals can be selected. Third, explosion-proof actuator specifications are available for hazardous areas handling flammable gas or ignitable liquids.
- What happens to the valve when power is interrupted?
- Standard electric actuators maintain the current position when power is cut. If automatic return to a specific position is required when power is lost, an actuator specification including battery backup or spring-return is required. Let us know your fail-safe requirements and we will guide you on whether the option can be applied.
